In this entertaining book, Ted Mawdsley remembers his wartime days at RAF Elsham Wolds in Lincolnshire, home to the Lancaster bombers and personnel of 103 and 576 Squadrons of No 1 Group RAF Bomber Command.

Ted recaptures the ambience of life on a heavy bomber station during WWII as seen from the perspective of its non-flying personnel, whose work may not have been as dangerous or glamorous as that of the aircrews, but was no less vital to the war effort.

His informal yet informative account is both amusing and entertaining - as well as being a worthwhile historical record of the contribution made by the unsung heroes and heroines who re-armed, repaired and serviced the RAF's aircraft or attended to the myriad routine and administrative tasks of keeping an operational RAF Station `up and running'.

From the Publisher:

A very readable and informative account that highlights the invaluable work of RAF ground crews during World War II.

If anyone in the North of England has a quantity of sheet music they wish to sell, please get in touch.
